Our DFL Promise
Products should be Designed For Life®, built to last a lifetime and designed to evolve with us. Inputs are sustainable, but even consumable parts can be built for replacement, recycling, or easy repair so they need not be thrown out. This is a higher standard of sustainability. Planned obsolescence is an outdated business strategy that is irresponsible. Designed For Life products are beautiful because they are simple, loveable and classically enduring. They thus deliver heightened utility within their role, making life a bit easier. You don’t just buy a Designed For Life product, you invest in it.
Designed For Life (DFL) is a designation created by The Lovesac Company.

Sustain-able
(adjective)
Sustain-able products are the outcome of applying the Designed For Life (DFL) approach to product development. True sustainability goes beyond recycling and reuse; it goes back to the definition of the root word ‘sustain.’ Sustain means to be able to last, something that has the strength to keep itself going. A product has value for a lifetime only if it can sustain a lifetime of use.
Designed For Life Framework
BUILT TO LAST
If you don’t love it, you won’t keep it. Viscerally pleasing design is a hallmark of the DFL approach. Fads, trends, or limited editions are incorporated in transient and changeable elements only, shaping a core product line that is reliable, endearing, and timeless.
DESIGNED TO EVOLVE
Life changes, and the products that support our lives should change along with us. A DFL product is designed with interchangeable, adaptable, or modular components that enable the user to change the way they can utilize it and designers to add functionality later.
A DFL product aims to last for the lifetime of the consumer. Reliability and quality are a top priority, from the design-concept phase to the delivery of goods.
The DFL vision means being transparent and accountable from the outset, while continuing to take pro-active steps that lead to true, meaningful, and measurable results in protecting our planet.
DFL products are thoughtfully engineered from the outset with standardized parts and replaceable components that make restoring, repairing, or even upgrading, easy and desirable.
Good products are designed with the end in mind. The DFL design process purposefully makes plans for all components to be repurposed, recycled, or even biodegraded so the nutrients can be reclaimed by the earth.
